TheHalaqaBest Wedding Decorations Ideas

One of our favourite marquee decoration ideas comes in the shape of a balloon. But not just any balloon. Forget the foil, garish things on weighted strings – leave those for the kids birthday parties – wedding balloons right now are opaque, round (this is crucial for maximum Insta-appeal) and come complete with on-trend tassels or pom poms. Choose yours in poppy primary colours for the fun factor or chic white orbs. Cue: a million upupandaway social posts.

Until a couple of years ago, all that was really on offer for outdoor weddings was to hire a big white tent to use as your blank canvas. And the prospect of turning a plain white cube into a stylish space was somewhat overwhelming. A cooler alternative for rustic garden or field weddings is the giant kata tipi. Companies like Country Tipis have seen a fivefold increase in bookings in the last year, according to founder Richard Knapp who says 90 per cent of enquiries come from couples looking for a more unique, relaxed alternative to the traditional white marquee.

We have all been there – it’s a July wedding and as you dip your hand into the communal confetti basket on a hot summer day, you think you have grabbed a good substantial handful to lob at the bride and groom but when it comes to the big moment, it sticks to your sweaty hand like feathers in tar. Enter: Confetti Pops. Launched by Shropshire Petals, the latest accessory to hit celebrity weddings and in-crowd celebrations is a cross between a party popper and a box of confetti.
